'Dismissed With Whatever' By Anne Taylor Fleming
The article Dismissed with “Whatever…” by Anne Taylor Fleming is an article that talks about the effect of “whatever” on our daily lives. After deconstructing the piece of writing and analyzing the content and craft items, I can say that this is an effective article.
From my perspective, I believe, that the author has convinced me by the content because he provides the reader the facts about the use of “whatever”. He also brings in real life examples and I can also relate to how the term has conquered over our lives when we want to cut off any unnecessary chatter.
When it comes to content, the writer’s use of literary devices such as quotes, repetition and macaronic to further explain his meaning. Additionally, the tone of the article being

    Even though the writer is very firm in her stance, throughout the article, she did not use a harsh tone. Instead, she uses a passive tone to convey her message. Also, she did not force her perspective on her audience but she gave room for her readers to develop their own opinions. She uses a “third person” pronoun, removing the subjectivity of the article and used first person pronouns only when she provided personal experience. She also kept each paragraph short and simple, to prevent overloading, of information for the readers and kept the flow of the article smooth. Thus, it’s a more effective way of…

    The writer clearly had no idea what they were doing. The paper has no central focus. The information seems to have been randomly selected and dumped into the paper without any logic or organization. Additionally, sources were not properly cited or referenced. Overall, this is a really bad example of research-based writing.…

    Helpless, by Barbara Gowdy, was a well written novel which kept the reader interested right until the final page. Gowdy used descriptive language, suspense, and flashbacks to develop the theme that unrequited love lasts longer than love that is fulfilled. Gowdy used descriptive language well.…

    The tone of an essay reveals to readers who the author and gives them a sense of the writer's personality. Tone tells the reader why the author is writing about their chosen subject. Both Barry and Pollitt are comparing the differences in men and women but their reasons for it and outlook about it vary greatly. Barry seems to celebrate these differences and make light of them while Pollitt explores the causes and effects of the differences. Katha Pollitt’s is most effective at revealing herself and her views through the tone of her essay.…

    The author of the article that will be talked about throughout this paper will be analyzed to see if they used pathos, ethos, and logos in the article to make the best article possible. Ethos dealing with the credibility of the article makes sure that the website has the right sources and the details and examples to back up what the author is talking about in the article. Pathos on the other hand deals with the emotion throughout and how people relate towards what is being talked about in the journal or whatever was wrote about. Last but not least is logos which is dealing with logic and reason such as statistics and ratings making sure what information that is found in the article is the right information and has the right numbers to be able to tell the public whenever the public reads the article.…

    I found your response very enjoyable. I agree with you in saying that Mary Bibb faced many biases due to her race and sex and support your statement in saying that “one’s identity should not restrict or deny them from any opportunities.” I thought it was important that you addressed the issue of separation and exclusion, as the society was disregarding her accomplishments and making her seem invaluable due to her skin tone, sex and gender. Black children were also excluded/denied access to common schools and Mary Bibb wanted to change this, making sure that children of any skin colour could receive an education. Even though schools now accept students of various cultures/backgrounds/races, I find that within the classroom and schools, judgement,…

    Pathos is not a strong rhetorical appeal because the reader does not believe the writer as much because there are no facts or statistics presented. Another flaw with the editorial is that I begins with a story. While this can be effective, it is not appropriate for the topic presented because of how…
